Linking A Cell Through A Function?
Oct 18, 2008
this have bothered me for a long time. I'm not a very good excel user, so it's probably a piece of cake for some here ^^; This table;
Student Test1 Test2 Test3
a 13
b 16
c 19
d 9
e 15
etc...
Later in the document I want to show WHO scored highest on each test in another table;
Best Student Points
Test1 19
Test2
Test3
The points are easy to figure out, even for me, just use the "MAX" function. But how do I make excel tell me "c" under "best student"? Ofcourse I want it to be a function so that it'll change when I set 20 on student a.

I am trying to link 2 excel sheets together and I am wondering if using the SUMIF Function is the best way to do this. I will try to explain and illustrate my position.
First I have a sheet called Master where I import my companies inventory and prices. It contains ALL our inventory. Looks like this:
(Column A) (Column B)
(Item Code (Item Price
(ROW1) THUMBRID $5.00
(ROW2) THUMTUBE $2.00
(ROW3) ZPIN $0.30
Now this master sheet is changing all the time as we import new products and prices all the time. So, this is a "list" where I can sort it by Item Code alphabetically.
Now, I am trying to make another worksheet with a list of what each of our kits contain and there prices. I will call this ThumbPiano. Like this:
Column A: COLUMN B:
THUMBRID $5.00
THUMTUBE $2.00
We have many different kits, that only take a couple of products, and our inventory list is at like 3,400. I want to be able to go into the Master sheet and update an Item price and have it automatically update it in whatever worksheet contains those items. But how can I do this if I add an item into the workseet. Then the cells move and whatever data was in that cell before is not there now.
So, that is why I chose the SUMIF function. Maybe there is a better one? Here's what I tried...assuming the two lists before, and the code Zpin is extra in the Inventory list because we do not use it in the thumb piano hardware pack.
I tried:
=SUMIF([Master.xls]Sheet1!$A$1:$A$3,A1:A2,[Master.xls]Sheet1!$B$1:$B$3)
It works, but then when I save it and close out of it and then re-open the ThumbPiano sheet it asks me if I want to update the sheet. I click yes, and then all the cell says "#VALUE!" "A value used in the formula is of the wrong data type." Please let me know what is going wrong. I know there has to be a way to do this. I just wonder if the SUMIF formula is not the way to link 2 sheets together...but if it isn't please keep in mind that I have this looking through 3,400 parts and I will be adding to them all the time, so it needs to search through all those parts and display the correct price....

ive managed to come up with this formula: = OFFSET( 'G:gailMVTR2007[B052,B261A.xls]B261A45'!$B$5,COLUMN()-3,0,1,1)
which pretty much does the same job as a paste special/translate, this works fine when both files are open and updates all the values that i could ever enter, however, when i open only the file containing the link and press "update" it returns a "#value!" error, i dont understand because it works fine when the other sheet is opened and there are no values other than a single number used.

When I am in my workbook and I click on a cell in a worksheet I would like to be able to have the row highlight when I click a cell, instead of trying to manually find it which at times I get lost with all the data on these sheets. Now my workbook is completed and all my formulas are done. Just trying to fine tune my databases with being able to do the "click this cell and the row highlights where I need to be" If this is possible I would like to do this for all 3 databases.

I am trying to have a cell in a diffrent work sheet display information from another sheet.
I entered ='Weapons Table'!A48 and it is displaying in text not what is actually in that cell.
on the cell above it I have entered ='Weapons Table'!A47 and it displays fine.
I've tried typing = then just clicking the cell, and it is still just displaying it as text. I've spent 3 days on this sheet and have only 1 error, that is driving me crazy.

I have a workbook with 6 tabs/worksheets. Each of the first four is a different product or quarter. Tab 5 is a consolidated data report that links data from individual tabs 1-4 in rows and columns for comparison purposes. Consider Tabs/Worksheets 1-4 to be quarters (ie. 1Q, 2Q, 3Q, 4Q). What I want is for the Column Headers in Tab 5 (the consolidated data report) to be pulled from the NAME of the Tab/Worksheet it is pulling the data from. Not an individual cell, but the name of the worksheet itself so that others can change their worksheet labels and those changes are reflected in the consolidated report.

I have a cell, C2, that will have a tab name pasted into it each time a new page is created. This name will be equivalent to a filter in PivotTable1 on that page.
Is there a way that I can have it that when the name is pasted, the filter "Time" can be linked to that cell and update in the pivot table?

I have two cells on Sheet 1 - Cell A1 and Cell A2.
Cell A1 is the first cell that will receive either a number, or nothing. When it receives a number, the number will always contain five digits. (For example: '23456'.)
The contents of Cell A2 depend on the contents of Cell A1 - If Cell A1 contains a five digit number, then Cell A2 will display that same five-digit number with '-1' following it. (In our case: '23456-1'.) If Cell A1 contains no number, then Cell A2 will just be another ordinary cell allowing the user to enter whatever he/she desires.
The extension in Cell A2 should remain editable at all times - if the user wishes to change the '-1' to a '-2', for example, he/she should be able to do so without any error messages appearing. However, the user must not be able to change any of the first five digits in Cell A2 as long as Cell A1 contains data. A message should appear stating that changes to the first five digits should be performed in Cell A1 - which would then change Cell A2 accordingly.
Also, if the contents of Cell A1 are erased for any reason, Cell A2 should keep the five digit number, but lose whatever '-x' extension it contained.
Can this be done using Data Validation?

I am making a spreadsheet which would have the record of the audit that i am doing on my patients. Along with other details i want to give link of the routine followups of their disease picture in their specific spreadsheet cell. I have searched the internet about it where i have come to know about hyperlinking. However, my concern about hyperlinking is that i want the spreadsheet with pictures to be portable to other PCs which wouldn't be possible with hyperlinking. Also including the pictures in the spreadsheet would be very troublesome as the size would enormously increase once the data continues to grow.I want to include photos in column L, R, V, Z & AD.

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Sheet2!$M$2:$M$11=Sheet1!$B$3),--(Sheet2!$N$2:$N$11=Sheet1!$B$4),Sheet2!$A$2:$A$11)
inthe above quoted formula last part "Sheet2!$A$2:$A$11" is the data for Jan in sheet2, if I need Feb results I need to change it to "Sheet2!$B$2:$B$11"
Is there a way to make it dynamic by linking this to a cell on sheet1? Example if sheet1 A1 cell contains name of month, by changing that the results should also change?

One folder on the drive contains excel files, which are created daily from a template. I use these files, the 20 most recent days' worth, to create an analysis file. This new file is organized in rows, starting with the date. The files I am using are all saved in the form "Stats yyyy mm-dd.xls" The first line of each row of the analysis spreadsheet starts with the date, in the format "yyyy mm-dd". Is it possible to create a macro, or in another way, for the analysis spreadsheet to automate the reading-in of data from these different files?

I am a beginner with VB but i am wiz when it comes to forumlas but i have been learning how to do VB from your Forum. My Question: I have this code on two seperate option buttons
'First Memebership Option
Private Sub MemFeeFix1_Click()
[$F$7:$Q$7].Value = [$F$7]
End Sub
Private Sub MemFeeVar1_Click()
[$G$7:$Q$7].Value = "0"
End Sub
'Second Memebership Option
Private Sub MemFeeFix2_Click()
[$F$8:$Q$8].Value = [$F$8]
End Sub
Private Sub MemFeeVar2_Click()
[$G$8:$Q$8].Value = "0"
End Sub
Basically i created to buttons; one is a fixed button "MemFeeFix1" that will copy a value into 11 other cells because these values represent months in a year. Ie: Chamber Expense $12 so then i click the option button under the Fixed Column then it copies it into then next 12 months. I couldnt fit my worksheet as it is too big. Anyways i have another button "MemFeeVar1" in the Varable Column and if click variable then it places a "0" into the following 11 months.....

I've created a bar chart that I want to add some text boxes to. I want the text boxes to read what is in Cell A1 for example as the information in that cell will change over time.
How do I create a link between the information displayed in the text box and what's in Cell A1?

Using Dropbox, a lot of people will fill in formulas in personal workbooks from using data from another, central workbook. Since I cannot control where they install Dropbox or where they keep their personal workbooks, I must account for that in functions.
Now, my idea is to make them define the directory of the source in their personal workbook in a specific cell and then using that as a basis for the rest of the functions.
Example
Cell A1: C:Usersuser1Dropboxfolder (copy paste from path in Windows Explorer)
Cell B1: A1&[CentralWorkbook.xlsx]SheetName'!$H$1
Basically I want the unknowing user to copy-paste the path of the central workbook into a specific cell in their own workbook and then build my functions bsed on that. How can this be done?

I am using an excel spread sheet as a larger display on a huge projected screen with numbers at a large charity event. It is a reverse raffle, so as your name is called you are out of the raffle. I would like to link the cell to a specific powerpoint slide which has the name and town of the specific ticket buyer. When double clicking on the cell listing their number the ticket buyers name and town would appear as a powerpoint a window in the middlle of the excel screen for all to see and then disappear after a few seconds or disappear when the next cell is double clicked. putting excel data into powerpoint slldes but not the other way around!

I have values on master sheet and want to link those values to source documents in the same workbook. But the values on master sheets are made up of more than one value on another sheet.
For example on master sheet I have $137,000 that is made up of values in P7 + Q7 + P57 + Q57 on source sheet. If user wants to see where this number is coming from; the user will click the number to go to source document.
On a single valve I linked to the source sheet to a single cell. One thing I was thinking, using conditional format, so if one of the cells is selected in source document the other cells that combine the total of the master sheet cells should be highlighted, just my 2 cents.

This is what i have tried in a forumla:
=IF(ISERROR(IF(Search1="","No Place Found",INDEX(LocationsANDLocations2,MATCH("*"&Search1&"*",LocationsANDLocations2,0)))),"No Place Found",IF(Search1="","No Place Found",INDEX(LocationsANDLocations2,MATCH("*"&Search1&"*",LocationsANDLocations2,0))))
But its not finding anything on the second table, being LocationsTable2.
LocationTable is about 65500 rows, and next to it another row of 65500.
What is the best method of linking the them, so it can search for matched text in each cell, so it looks in LocationsTable then LocationsTable2 and so on.

I have one cell with $20,000 hard coded (cell A1). In another cell I want the cell to say "20,000 Capital Raise" (cell B1). And i want B1 to link to A1 so that if i change the number in A1 it will also change in B1.
Here's what i have in B1 so far: ="$"&J6&" Capital Raise"
This produces "$20000 Capital Raise" in cell B1.
So the only thing i'm trying to figure out is how to get the comma in the $20,000 so it will read "$20,000" instead of "$20000".

I am linking a row of data in worksheet x to a column of data in worksheet Y and would like to be able to drag down the cell reference in worksheet Y in this way:
=MIN(RuleofOriginData!AR$4:AR$63)
=MIN(RuleofOriginData!AS$4:AS$63)
=MIN(RuleofOriginData!AT$4:AT$63)
However, when I drag it down, the formula is automatically absolute for both the row and the column number instead of just the row as I indicated. Can anyone tell me why this occurs and whether there is a way to fix it?

Why the heck every time I enter in to the "edit text" area of the chart title box in a chart in Excel 2010 and type "=B27" (without the quotation marks, and understanding the contents of "B27" has the text I wish to display) does this idiot thing simply display "=B27" (again, without the quotation marks)???

I am using Excel 2007. A few years ago I managed to link a spreadsheet to a particular part of a website. To be specific, I linked a cell to a portion of a table on a website showing the current average price of petrol in the U.K. I also linked a cell to a website which showed the current exchange rate for pounds and dollars. I haven't been able to replicate the procedure.

The merged Cell B6:G6 will receive a ten-digit number followed by a dash and then one or more numbers. (For example: 1234567890-123)
Cell B15 will then receive data shortly afterwards. I already have a validation macro for this cell which allows either 'I' or 'I I I'.
Upon exiting Cell B15, merged Cell B16:H16 needs a macro which will check Cell B15 and if it contains 'I', Cell B16:H16 will display the data from the ten-digit number entered in Cell B6:G6 minus the first five digits. (For example: 67890-123)
Now the data in Cell B16:H16 can only be somewhat editable hereafter. It can be erased or replaced with numbers in smaller or greater digit combinations than five before the dash (i.e. 67890-123 can be replaced with 123456-7), and digits can be added after the whole group (i.e. 67890-123 & SEE DWG) without any error messages. But if any five-digit number with a dash and some numbers exist in Cell B16:H16, they must correspond with the number in Cell B6:G6 minus the first five digits.
However, if Cell B15 ever receives a 'I I I' afterwards, all data in Cell B16:H16 must be erased. Cell B16:H16 can never contain data if Cell B15 contains 'I I I'.
Also, if the data in Cell B6:G6 changes later on, the corresponding digits in Cell B16:H16 must change as well, even if there are digits after the whole group.
So here is an example of what a good macro would do for me: ...
